In other sports-divorce news, Jamie McCourt has spoken out for the first time since her split from Frank McCourt, telling The Times' T.J. Simers that she's "going to take the high road."

"I have four kids -- this is not something I would have played out in the public," Jamie said. "To read everything that's been said is devastating, and my kids are pretty upset about it."

Simers' full account will be updated later today.

Dodgers fans are going to have a lot to pay attention to in the off-season, we think.
